I'd suggest that we shouldn't link to a "closed" issue here and instead to what seems to be the successor issue: https://github.com/actions/checkout/issues/334

But looking at #151 most of the issue is a bazillion commit references to this commit being rebased again and again, seems like github isn't especially well set up for the "spam" our perpetual rebasing of the same commits causes :)
